Alicia Keys - Empire State of Mind, Part II Live | iHeartRadio Concerts 

The BEST version of "Empire State of Mind" on RU-vid so far.

She gave it her everything, they all did, it’s an incredible performance!

Love Alicia Keys so much she is one of the real ones

I love her. She is so underrated.

This performance makes me think back to when she started out in 2001, with her braided, tomboyish New Yorker self. lol. She has definitely grown in a lot of ways. Stunning performance.

She's the most old school lady of today's music business. You can hear the classic sound of 70's and 80's in her almost every tune. That's why I love her.

Oh my goodness, is there a more beautiful rendition of this song anywhere? No way.

"Some will sleep tonight with a hunger far more than an empty fridge." Alicia's lyrics are so meaningful, yet so easy to understand. To be a genius you just need a musical heart and a soul willing to love everyone.

How can I vote for this song thousands of times? The best music ever made by Alicia, even better than the amazing "Falling"! I really love this song! Great, great job!

i swear one day i will be just like you. i also play piano and sing. ever since i was seven you've been my inspiration and now seven years later i still consider you the best

She has so much soul. I love her voice.

"Screaming, by myself by the way" OMG SHE'S TOO CUTE!

NATIVE NEW YORKER CAN'T HAVE IT NO OTHER WAY I WILL ALWAYS CHERISH THIS AMAZING SONG 4EVER! !!!!!!

That girl can sing when she wants to!

I dedicate this song to all the men and women who are fighting in the Middle East, Afghanistan and Iraq, hoping this brings back good memories of home, god bless.

I love the way she can just sit at the piano and belt those notes out! That's difficult too! She's rare! Love the emotion and passion in her voice and her music overall!

I love this song and what a talent she is. I feel terrible for what's going on in New York right now. Love from London.

I can’t even put into words how much I love this song! This version!

Here is the overwhelming power of the empire evidenced. If only the empire would always display its power in this way... and only in this way...

Got back from NYC this morning what a place ! I love it ! so amazing !

i am absolutely in love with this rendition.

This for me, live or recorded version, is by far the best!! I absolutely love it!!!!!!!!!!! What an awesome voice!!!!

her voice plus the background singers...thats just beautiful

Que gran canción. Desde una radio española en mis madrugadas de trabajo, aprendí a amar esta canción. Y aún ahora me sigue estremeciendo y enamorando. Ganas de escucharla en ese lugar.

Essa música é genial, incrível. A interpretação maravilhosa e o backing vocal fecha com chave de ouro. Maravilhoso, maravilhosa New York....

such a respectable artist

I am crying when hearing this song. Her performance, the piano, the lyrics, everything of this song just touched me so deeply. Although I am not from New York!

this song just embodies NY. even if you're not a New Yorker, one still has to admit that there's something special about the city. it's beautiful

I'm from New York and awesome like my girl Alicia, You sing this song with the gusto New Yorkers are know for.....Thanks Alicia for showing the greatness of New York........... I give a shout out to Brooklyn ( Crown Heights, Bed Stuy and Brownsville!!!!)

When I listen to this song my mind is gone to New york. I can't imagine how people don't like this song. It's a masterpiece and Alicia Keys has that R&B music talent that inspires many people from all around the world. Love this song :) Alicia is the best

I always feel touched while listening to this

Iam mexican and I love new york because this city give me everything.......!!!!!!!!!

love this song you inspire all new York this is the best song to what really means to ny Alicia keys you go girl

absolutely brilliant record.really love this track and the words are perfect.

I'm from Austria and have been to new york for several times. At the moment I'm sitting in Austria, dream of the Big Apple and listen to this song. That makes it so much easier to remeber this wonderful city....

I love Alicia Keys...She's the only celebrity that hasn't done anything inappropriate, has talent, is very popular, sings like an angel and has NOTHING wrong with her!

What the amazing chorus!Just want to sing it along with my friends when I will live in New York:)

Love this song, beautiful just like her.

No kid wanted to play piano. Now Alicia Keys is here, everyone wants to learn how to play piano. I

cant enough of hearing this song it keeps me going

a partir de 3:36 los escalofríos son inevitables :D

She is so underrated. She can sing her throat off!!

I usually really don't like her music style, it's just not what I hear.... but if someone ever doubts whether she can sing, or play the piano, this is to prove him or her wrong. And, honestly, this is a brilliant song. Beautiful, emotional, just awesome.

No kid wanted to play piano. Now Alicia Keys is here, everyone wants to learn how to play piano.

Alicia keys you go girl you don't need jay -z in this song this is a lot better in new York that's what I'm talking about

I'm not a fan of hers But that voice! O.0 beautiful performance all-around in this song!

Das hat diese Stadt verdient, einfach Gänsehaut pur! da wird nach Frank Sinatra nicht mehr viel kommen! Ich liebe New York, und sage bis naechste woche, dann bin ich dort, und diese Alicia Keys nehme ich mit, und werde Gänsehaut bekommen! Danke für dieses Video

A couple nights ago I was in an Irish Pub in NYC and this song came on. It was super appropriate needless to say.

This song came out when I went up to New York for the first time to see my girl that I met in Hawaii. Love ❤️

The best singer in the world!

You know what, NYC isn't for everybody, but every time I'm there I fall in love with it again and again. It's so much that I want to call it my home. I know to some people it seems crazy, but everyone say their favorite place, the place they want to live, and this is mine.

thnx for the thumbs up you guys =) =) greetings from the Netherlands

BQE baby, fun drive.... MY NYC girl Alicia, so beautiful... wish I could see you... oh yea!

i get shivers down my spine when i hear this :) and then goosebumps from head to toe :D i frikin love it!

this song is ON POINT what ny is... just listen to it, close your eyes and you got the unbelievable ny feeling. thank you alicia for such a great song

I always begin to miss NY when I listen to this song...

much better without Jay-Z..

Love this particular performance! Just so raw and wonderful!

SO MUCH TALENT IN ONE LITTLE BODY.... I AM JEALOUS...

I am going to NYC because of this song.. i will turn 41 there on sunday... Cant wait

its been about 6 months or so since i saw you for the last time on the corner of west 39TH. we held each other and stared into each others eyes one last time... and then you got into the yellow Cab and was driven out of my life. Thank You for the best Times of my Life. I cant

LOVE the song, how she sings it..wish it was on a cd....

Some people are just blessed with natural beauty and talent. Alicia is one of them, God i love her

hear this on the radio everyday in work,its stunning

you have a bond with your husband, your children, we love you too. You are all soul. Congratulations!!!!

so talented, beautiful and modest. well done on writing a song that redefines how people think about the most enigmatic place in the world

Miss Alicia, cette chanson me font surgir de tellement beaux souvenirs. J'ai fais mon premier voyage, à Riviera Maya, en avril 2010 et tous les soirs que j'allais souper dans un des 5 restaurants, c'était ta chanson qui passait partout dans le resort du Grand Esmeralda..you re so sweet. xxxx Jim from Montreal.

"Speechless" is a great song too. This song is too amazing. Alicia Keys is definitely the best. No better person to sing the anthem for New York. BTW, what is wrong with 120 people? Bad mood? Bad day? Must have some kind of problem because I know ( 9557 to 120) ? You must have some excuse other than being right.

please, give your thumbs for the best backing vocals ever

I identified a lot with this video, and with the lyrics of the song ... Congratulations New York!

wow. stunning beauty, voice AND instrumentals...christmas could never even come close...

where's the LOVE button! She is timeless!!

With a voice like that, she can bring any man to tears!

Travelling from JFK to CT on the 94 wow really liked it

I Prefer part 2 because she sings this so softly and amazing

This is what music and artist is all about...........long live music!!!!!

They're both good in their own ways. No one is better than the other.

wow.. str8 ny.. i never been there .. texas born and raisied.. i cant wait to experience the Big Apple... so much history and culture.. i get chills listening and thinking about it.. how nice .. to serenade us with such beautifull insight of her and the city !!

This version is the STANDARD ..for everyone , puts it on the map .

Amazingly talented! Playing that piano and hitting the high notes while sitting down. Speechless.

Imagine going out with her. Gorgeous and so talented she's amazing! I'd just wana listen to her all the time!

New Yooorkk, New York, New Yooork!! Excelente canción!

Having goosebumps when she sings tha part "i'm from new yooork.." Awesome song and performace!

I adore Alicia keys for a very long time , and thanks to her version and the version of her with jay z , I adore new york and I am very proud of this beautifull city.

she is stunning at singing just as much as she is at playing the piano

Absolutely wonderful. Best version I've ever heard. Her playing is funny to watch, though, cos all piano teachers and professional pianists would be screaming 'CURL YOUR FINGERS!'

I love this version. But I heard another one, just Alicia, the piano and nothing else. Way better!

This version brought tears to my eyes.

We might be moving from Europe to NJ near NY. I am so exited. I loved the song the first time I heard it!

i felt the same way about london. still do, actually. powerful song, great singer!

Well there should be an eargasm throughout this whole beautiful performance!

If you've ever been to NY this song is even more intense. Goose bumps all over. :)

She is so... *sobs* BEAUTIFUL. WHERE ARE THOSE TALENTED PEOPLE WHEN WE NEED THEM? 2011 , HOLLYWOOD , RECORD COMPANIES , WHAT HAPPENED TO YA ? IF I WAS RICH , I'D OPEN ONE AND TAKE ALICIA KEYS - NO MATTER WHAT .

I would love to meet Alicia that is a dream. This is my favorite song.

man. She's so lucky to be born and raised in NYC!!!!

sono passati mesi da quando ascolto questo brano dal vivo ,ma è sempre un emozione rivederlo o risentirlo che grande artista che sei alicia ...continua cosi' e come si dice dalle mie parti ..si o rrevuot

I'm chilean. I listened to this song 10 years ago. I hadn't finished my career yet, I was broke, working in a little bar and thinking that I was a total fraud. I never thought that almost a decade later I was gonna be doing very well. I finished my career, I formed a beautiful family and I never imagined that my honeymoon would be in New York in September 2019, when everything was fine there. New York is a great city that inspires people in mysterious ways.

Cones, cones is the word you were looking for.. And wow, she's amazingly beautiful, and I love the passion she puts into the song!

The intro of this song is so soothing ... pure art.

Awesome tune. i love it each and every time i hear it. Brava Alicia !
